Harry Enfield to play Prince Charles in raunchy comedy


Harry Enfield is set to play Prince Charles in a new raunchy comedy.
The 54-year-old funnyman is set to ruffle a few feathers as he takes on the role of the heir to the throne, 67, in Channel 4's forthcoming controversial show 'The Windsors'.
A spokesperson for Channel 4 said: "The series is a wry take on what the soap opera of their lives (and loves) might just be like. Delving behind the headlines and gossip columns, 'The Windsors' lets our imaginations run riot in this ludicrous parody."
Haydn Gwynne will star alongside Harry as she portrays his on-screen second wife Duchess Camilla in the hilarious spoof.
But it won't all be a barrel of laughs as the skit, set mainly in Kensington Palace, will no doubt spark some controversy with its saucy plotlines including the rumoured romance between Prince Harry (Richard Goulding) and Pippa Middleton (Morgana Robinson).
Duchess Catherine (Louise Ford) and her husband Prince William (Hugh Skinner) will also make an appearance in the upcoming comedy, as will Queen Elizabeth's granddaughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie (Ellie White and Celeste Dring).
Meanwhile, this isn't the first time Harry has impersonated Prince Charles as he also played a "dopey" version of the royal in BBC Two's 'An Evening With Harry and Paul' last year.

Beowulf to be axed after just one series


'Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands' has reportedly been axed.
The epic fantasy drama - dubbed the British version of the highly-popular 'Game of Thrones' - has been given the chop after just one series following an awkward and unexpected flop in ratings.
A source explained to The Sun newspaper: "ITV had huge hopes for 'Beowulf' ... But viewers slammed it and all the talk internally has been about what a disaster it has been. It is fair to say it won't be back."
And the news the show is expected to be dropped will no doubt come as a surprise to the cast - including William Hurt and Joanne Whalley - as they were offered the chance to sign a five-year contract, which would see them create five series, when they first jumped on board the expensive project.
Ed Speleers - who portrays Slean in the drama - said at the time: "The fact that someone wants to offer me a five-year contract ... a lot of people would look at this as being tied down but I take it as a compliment. I hope this goes on for years and years -- and that this is just the beginning."
The 12-part adventure series, which still has five episodes left to air, is loosely based on the Anglo-Saxon epic poem.

Olivia Colman forgets lines when she’s pregnant


Olivia Colman forgets her lines when she's pregnant.
The 42-year-old actress has admitted she was struck down with "nappy brain" when she was carrying her daughter - now six months old - and had real difficulty retaining her script at times.
She explained: "I just can't retain my lines like I normally would. I've got a bit of nappy brain going on. There are an awful lot of script changes that happen. It can change the day before, on the day. It fills me with fear: 'Oh Christ, I've barely got the script in my head and now I've got to change it.' So it is a little bit hanging by my fingernails."
However, Olivia - who also has sons Finn, 11, and Hall, nine, with her husband Ed Sinclair - didn't let her baby brain fog stop her from trying to snap up the lead part of intelligence operative Burr in her new forthcoming series 'The Night Manager' but she was sceptical about mentioning her pregnancy to the director at first.
She said: "I went to see Susanne [Bier] thinking, 'Oh God, should I mention it in the first meeting?' And I thought, 'I can't lie.' Which is why I'd be a rubbish spy."
And, although Susanne was initially hesitant about casting a five-month pregnant star in the BBC drama, the director soon changed her mind after being inspired by other shows featuring expectant mothers as the lead.
Olivia recalled to the Radio Times magazine: "She said, 'Oh... Right...' but then she said, 'You know, just go with it for a minute. Remember the film 'Fargo' and Frances McDormand? The pregnancy added to the drama: the domesticity versus the extraordinary nature of her job. And I think it adds a weird power to this part, too.' "

Cilla Black leaves 15m to sons


Cilla Black left £15 million to her sons in her will.
According to The Sun, the late TV presenter's children, Robert, 45, Ben, 41, and Jack, 35, will have to pay almost £6 million in inheritance tax leaving then with roughly £3 million each.
Cilla also reportedly bequeathed £20,000 to her housekeeper Penny Walker.
A source told the newspaper: "She adored her sons and treated Penny as part of the family."
Cilla also has a £2million villa in Spain and £1.5million penthouse in Barbados which have not been included in her UK estate.
Cilla passed away in August following a fall at her home in Spain and her son Robert recently said that his 72-year-old mother had been in high spirits before her death.
Speaking in the documentary 'Our Cilla', he said: "During the last two years she began to suffer fairly standard things that people as they get older would suffer.
"Her hearing had started to go, so she had to start wearing hearing aids. Typical of my mum, she wouldn't wear them.
"She was sitting around having a glass of champagne killing herself laughing at 'Jeremy Kyle' - without the hearing aids obviously - so blaring out across Marbella.
"We hung out and at about one o'clock, I said I was going to do a shop. I said goodbye and that was the last time I saw her."

Ant and Dec will present Saturday Night Takeaway finale live from a cruise ship


The 'Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway' finale will be shot live on board a ferry.
The comedy duo will return to screens later this month for a another series of their popular game show but, this time, the final episode is set to be explosive as they'll step outside the studio - the first time in the show's 14-year history - and present from a P&O cruise ship docked in Barcelona.
And that's not the only twist the pair have up their sleeve for the forthcoming series as they'll also head out to Los Angeles to prank their close friend James Corden.
But James isn't the only person in the firing line as 'X Factor' boss Simon Cowell is set to be "gunned down" at his own birthday party in a hilarious 'whodunnit' sketch.
An insider said recently: "There are a lot of stars who have had run-ins with Cowell over the years - but who would have a grudge big enough to want to shoot him? That is the tantalising premise of the sketch. It was Ant and Dec's idea and they put it to Cowell who thought it was great fun."
However, the next series will also see some familiar faces as the famous Little Ant and Dec will make a return this month.
'Saturday Night Takeaway' will return to its prime-time slot on Saturday (20.02.16) at 7pm on ITV.

Chloe Ferry’s ‘psycho’ behaviour scared off Scotty T


Chloe Ferry thinks her "psycho" antics have scared off Scotty T.
The 'Geordie Shore' star, 21, developed an infatuation with the womanising hunk during the last series of the show to the point where she even blurted out that she loves him but now she thinks her obsessive behaviour has turned him off her.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, she explained: "I don't think Scotty T loves us. He definitely doesn't love me. I've scared him off because I'm psycho."
And Scotty - whose real name is Scott Timlin - isn't the only person who has been on the receiving end of Chloe's bizarre behaviour as her former fling Martin McKenna was also put through his paces when he dated her briefly a few years ago.
He told The Sun newspaper: "Chloe tried to stick a digit up me once when I was shagging her ages ago. I felt something tickling my a*****le and I dived off the bed. I'd probably shag her again though, just for the banter."
And, although he'll willingly get frisky with her again, Chloe will no doubt be horrified when she discovers Martin - who is also known as Marty Mac - is joining the forthcoming series of 'Geordie Shore' this month and has no qualms about sharing her dodgy behaviour with the rest of their cast mates.

Samia Ghadie to return to Coronation Street in April


Samia Ghadie will return to 'Coronation Street' in April.
The 33-year-old actress - who went on maternity leave from the soap last year - has teased her busybody alter-ego Maria Connor will rock up to the Cobbles in two months' time with some jaw-dropping news after she was seen fleeing to Cyprus with her young son Liam to help her mum and dad on their donkey farm five months ago.
She said: "A special delivery dropped through my letterbox the other day - my 'Corrie' scripts!
"My first couple of blocks back are looking pretty full on. Maria has been a busy girl while she has been away at the Donkey sanctuary in Cyprus! It's not long before everyone learns of her surprise news. I won't spoil what that surprise is but the scripts made me laugh out loud!"
However, the blonde beauty - who has daughter Freya, six, with her ex-husband Matt Smith and four-month-old son Yves with her fiancé Sylvain Longchambon - is concerned her acting may be a little rusty following her career break.
Writing in her OK! magazine column, she said: "I am really looking forward to catching up with everyone at work, a part of me is a bit nervous though, I've not acted for six months so I'll have to get back into the swing of things quickly."

Stephanie Davis house-hunting with Jeremy McConnell


Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell are moving in together.
The loved-up couple may have only been dating six weeks after they controversially fell for each other while trapped inside the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house last month but it seems they aren't wasting any time as they've already started hunting for their new love nest.
Stephanie explained: "Our first night alone together [after leaving the infamous abode earlier this month] was amazing. We didn't see the point in waiting around so we're moving in together."
Jeremy, 25, added: "We've already started house-hunting!"
And, if getting a house together wasn't enough, the Irish hunk is also thinking about popping the question to Stephanie, 22.
Speaking to OK! magazine, he said: "All my friends are going to take the p*** out of me but I can see myself marrying her."
The duo came under fire a few weeks ago when they embarked on a steamy love affair inside the infamous abode while the axed 'Hollyoaks' actress' boyfriend Sam Reece, who she dated for a year, saw their romance flourish on national television.
But, although many people felt sorry for Sam as he watched the situation unfold, Stephanie has since claimed her relationship with the handsome model was on the rocks before she even entered the house because he'd also done the dirty on her.
Although Stephanie seemingly ended things with Sam when she began locking lips with Jeremy, the brunette beauty sealed the deal the night after she left the house two weeks ago by dumping him via text.
She said recently: "I sent a text to Sam the next day. I said a lot of things. I just said, 'It's nice to see you're making money off the back of me. You won't need my money now. Good luck. I've met someone I want to be with now.' "

Charlotte Crosby wants lesbian sex


Charlotte Crosby wants to have a lesbian threesome.
The 'Geordie Shore' star - who is no stranger to getting frisky on camera - has admitted one of her "biggest sexual desires" is to whip her clothes off and have a "full blown" romp with a hot-headed girl and a boy while on board an empty plane.
She explained: "One of my biggest sexual desires is... It's so bad. [I want] to have a threesome with a girl and a boy. I'd love to have sex on a plane, mind, full blown sex on the seat of the plane. But I wouldn't want people to be there."
And Charlotte's sex revelations didn't stop there as she went on to claim her on/off boyfriend Gary 'Gaz' Beadle, whom she split from last month, can sometimes be "pretty bad" in bed.
She said: "I've had some pretty bad sex times with Gary, you know. I've had really good sex times as well, like really good sex times. But there's been some bad ones where I've just wanted it to be over because he takes so long."
But the blonde beauty doesn't seem too bothered by Gaz' lack of power in the bedroom as she's getting some action from elsewhere.
Speaking in a video for MTV, she said: "I'm sleeping with a boy at the minute. Every time we have sex it's amazing."
